Description:
 Slax Tools are graphical applications that
simplify process of generating custom version of
live distibution Slax.

Slax Konfigurator is QT application that guides
user through downloading Slax ISO image,
management of modules, management of custom
documents and bootloader configuration. Modified
ISO can be installed on USB pen drive or recorded
on CD. Slax Konfigurator requires QT, kdesu, sudo,
cdrtools or cdr-kit and syslinux (only for USB

Slax Module Kreator converts RPM (Red Hat, Fedora,
Mandriva), DEB (Debian, Ubuntu), TAR.GZ (Arch
Linux) and TGZ (Slackware, KateOS) binary packages
into Slax modules. Slax Module Kreator depends on
KDE 3.5, mksquashfs and rpm2cpio (RPM only), dpkg
(DEB only) and tar (TAR.GZ and TGZ only).
